Summary of the February 16th Winter Storm

Low pressure tracking across Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia brought a roughly 12 hour period of moderate to heavy snow to most of the state of Kentucky from Sunday night into Monday February 16, 2015.

The snow fell with temperatures in the teens to low 20s for most locations resulting in a powdery snow. Snowfall amounts of 8 to 12" were common across eastern Kentucky, with a stripe of 12 to 18" across the heart of central and eastern Kentucky. For many areas, this was the most snow received in over a decade. A period of sleet and freezing rain mixing in with the snow cut into the snowfall amounts along the Tennessee border where 4 to 8" of snow was the rule.
